Sylhet: The popular tourist destination Sada Pathor in Companiganj upazila of Sylhet has been reopened for visitors after a suspension of travel due to rising water levels caused by heavy rainfall and upstream hill torrents.
The site was reopened on Monday morning after remaining closed for a day, allowing tourists from Sylhet and other parts of the country to resume visits, said Companiganj Upazila Nirbahi Officer Mo-hammad Robin.
The water levels have now receded and conditions have returned to normal for tourist movement, he said.
Earlier, authorities suspended tourist access from Sunday morning as a precautionary measure due to continuous rainfall and the onrush of hill waters from upstream regions, which raised safety concerns.
